DMG - Dynasty Marketing Group - Marketing Group
Not what you are expecting to walk into

Recreation & Entertainment

For each of us who are out looking for a job and are considering small boutique marketing... This is not what you are looking for. I checked out the website and thought that this was an agency that created print materials for paying clients. This is not the case. This company supposedly picks up excess inventory from local businesses including entertainment like the Bucks. They then repackage the inventory and try to sell it to local businesses as employee benefits or discounted tickets for the company. The client does not pay for this service and you are paid on a basis of what you sell. Good in theory except...

When you take an interview from them a chipper receptionist tells you that Dynasty Marketing would like to meet with you for a first round interview. You say ok and continue your research on the company and find that they are filed with the Better Buisness Bureau (BBB) as DMG Inc. Your confirmation e-mail will read DMG Inc. Worldwide. No big deal. You get to the location and find that on the door they call themselves Marketing Group Inc. Hmmmm? You walk into the office and sit with a mass of other young people who are either waiting for a 1st round sit down interview or a 2nd round field interview. You see that the office is run by other 20 year olds all running around in different and confusing levels of professional and casual attire. (Timberland boots and a suit, large earings, etc) The receptionist jokes with you as if you are friends and answers the phone as people call into the business as "Marketing". When she is calling potential interviewees... Which is happening a lot as you are in there... She tells them she is calling from Dynasty. I asked her why she and everyone else answered the phone "Marketing" (thinking that they have a name, why not use it?) and she responded with that there are two divisions in the office. I asked what they were, thinking she was going to say Marketing and maybe something like Information Technology or something not marketing related. Her response was sports and home goods and that is how they wanted her to answer the phone. That answer was not good enough. Hmmmm... So why does a business go by so many names?

When I got into the interview, at this point, incredibly guarded I did see the Indian guy described by another poster. I have a feeling that the receptionist warned the guys about how inquisitive I was and an Anglo man named John, who was a manager, interviewed me instead. He told me what they did in terms of picking up excess inventory and reselling it to local businesses for their employees. I asked him a few questions about how the front line sales portion of the company worked thinking that these were good questions to see how the business stayed afloat. He was not uncomfortable by my sales questions but he was not happy to answer them either. He told me that the reason they can do this is because people like the BUCKS do not have internal marketing teams to do this or that their people are not trained well. If I didn't know any better I would have taken that answer except that I work for the outsourcing company that does this for at least one major sports team in town and my friend owns full-service marketing agency that does this for other sports and entertainment venues in the city. Places like Mo's hire coordinators who are trained by the GM or owners to do this to grow their banquet traffic and general business diners by offering businesses deals to dine in their restaurant. My company gets 20% off at 3 local resturants that I know of. So their model could work if the market was there but unfortunately not having trained people and the desire to lose "inventory" to other people for them to make money off of the sales makes no sense. I wouldn't do that with my earned money.

It is 100% commissions based on what you sell to the area businesses. They are touting opening up 6 more offices soon. I do not think they can do it and if they have to keep changing their name so that the BBB can't keep up with them... Moral of the story is if you are young (16) and you get recruited here... Don't waste your time. Go work for a legit company like Vector Marketing and sell Cutco knives. You will learn more with them and make a ton more money. Guaranteed. These people are not to be trusted with your time and energy.
